Orbs are the most photographed anomalies caught on film and are quite photogenic (when they want to be). They can be completely transparent or display themselves in a bright solid form. It is not hard to capture them on film in their circular form. It is theorized that these spirits prefer the form of an Orb (ball of light) because it takes less energy thus being the mode of choice among them. A small orbs take up the least amount of energy and apparitions and other fuller shapes take up the most. In the colder parts of the year, it seems that spirits tend to find it easier to take on shapes other than orbs. That's when there is the most static electricity in the atmosphere. Those months being October through February.
All in all, most orb photos can be easily explained away as energy fields not perceived by the naked eye, or dust of the camera lens. They are more easily detected by digital cameras. One can look at them as physical manifestations in photos and also view them based on their relationship to the photo itself, which is subjective to interpretation by the person in the photo.
Much of what we would like to believe is 'spirit captured on film' can be scientifically explained - from orbs to ribbons of light - to smoky ectoplasmic shapes - to superimposed film and so on. But there are instances where spirit is captured on film especially in the case of the white spirals - rings of energy that tower in various directions. Look for a scientific explanation first. There is always the possibility that there is a message for you from spirit - but be discerning.
I am always in search of new pictures to post. Should you have any in your possession, please send your pictures via email to Dianne@diannelaramee.ca stating the type of camera used and the date/time/year the picture was taken if at all possible.
Thank you all !

Story behind the picture:
Dear Dianne,
In the photo, I am getting ready to be interviewed as part of a documentry. I am reading my notes and praying to (or intensely focusing on getting support from) my angels and certain departed loved-ones. Sure looks like they are around. I wish I knew who the orbs are.
Footnote:
I called Holly to ask her the details of this picture. As she mentioned above she is being interviewed and was sitting in the studio when this picture was taken. She was nervous and wanted to do right. I will not go into all the details however I will state that the subject is one that is close to her heart. The topic of the interview was a restaurant in Houston, that her deceased mother owned and now there is a documentary being written about it.
Thank you so much Holly, for taking the time to share this special event with everyone.

Dear Dianne,
I took these pictures with a Canon Powershot A520 on 5/15/06 around 1:30 a.m. Was just snapping pictures of my cats, which I have done many times without having the images overlapping like you will see. I can't imagine what it is, but found you through a search on the Internet. Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks very much,
Linda P.




The next set of photos were taken by Anita on the Full Moon of May. This is what she wrote:
Dear Dianne,
Things have been curious here this full moon, we got more spirit pics last night at sundown. Got about 10 all total this past month.
Love, Anita




The next set of photos were taken in a mine in Northern Quebec. The reader of this site, does not know why they are appearing or what they are. I wrote to the person asking for more information.


This gentleman affirms that there was no one or nothing else around.
